EFL Cup Matches | Round 4 | 29/30 Oct '24

Arsenal played only 3 of their regular starting line up (Raya, Saliba, Martinelli) last night so I'm not sure it's going to have much impact TBH. Possibly if they get to the semis they'll play a stronger team.
Raya didn't play but you had a full first team out bar the keeper. timber, Merino, Jesus, Saliba and martinelli all started, saka, havertz and partey all came on. It might not have a huge impact this round as you played this fixture in the midst of your 2 man injury crisis but let's see how healthy your squad is looking mid december and you haven't got a midweek break for months.

Jesus is hardly a 1st team pick though. Hes not even 1st choice attacking sub. From our best starting XI it was Raya, Saliba and Martinelli (although Martinelli frequently gets rotated for Trossard).

Re Havertz, Partey etc they came on in the 2nd half when we were already 2-0 up and cruising and was to give them I guess some minutes (not sure what Arteta was thinking TBH).
